More Quest InTrust Pros →

"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company.""Splunk Enterprise Security comes with 300 pre-deployed use cases that can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of our organization, without the need to purchase additional tools.""This solution helps us increase our productivity.""Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security.""The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly.""The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do.""The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable.""It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."

Cons
"​It needs to have better reporting. ​""​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"

More Quest InTrust Cons →

"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.""It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com.""Splunk ES could have more pre-built integrations and rules. The detection is fairly accurate, but it depends on the rules you create. Splunk's out-of-the-box configuration isn't that useful.""The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement.""It needs integration with a configuration management solution.""​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​""Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market.""Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
